- DREDD
In the September 21 release, starring Karl Urban, Olivia
Thirlby and Lena Headey, the future America is an irradiated waste land. On its
East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast,
violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of
order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the
combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared
throughout the city, Dredd (Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with
ridding the city of its latest scourge - a dangerous drug epidemic that has
users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal
speed.
During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train
and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic
abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a
neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical
slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Headey) and her ruthless
clan. When they capture one of the clan's inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the
compound's control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges
that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count
climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage
in the relentless battle for their survival.
